Lacrosse - left and right


Expert: Jonathan Edwards - 9/5/2009

Question
I've put in a lot of work with my left hand this summer, and im really good at it now.  But it seems like now that i try and go back to my right it seems weird almost. The stick almost feels heavier in my right hand.  The only thing i never really adapted to in my left hand was shooting side arm or overhead, I can only shoot underhand left.  How can i adapt to a point where i can use both hands efficiently?

Answer
Felix you have to practice switching hands now.  Right to left and left to right.  I recommend getting in front of a mirror and watching yourself do it perfectly both directions.  You have to work on switching hands now and getting the stick up into a position that you can throw/fake with. That's the next step in the process.
